And what am I supposed to have the awareness to do? He doesn't have any interest in talking to me either. And you don't know the situation.

[It probably won't go on for years this time... probably.]

[wreatharrow]

How can anyone - Kaveh included - know if you don't open your mouth and say something?

[justscribing]

Kaveh doesn't want to hear what I have to say.

[wreatharrow]

How do you know? It's not as though either one of you makes their feelings perfectly clear.

Sometimes, Alhaitham, even if you're not in the wrong you still have to take the appropriate steps so that a crack doesn't become a canyon.

[justscribing]

I don't need to hear that from you.

I have tried. Don't suggest you know better what's between Kaveh and I.

[wreatharrow]

Obviously you do need to hear it if you're already aware and are not paying attention.

It still doesn't answer the question of HOW DO YOU KNOW.

[justscribing]

Did I not just say that I've tried to tell him?

[wreatharrow]

Clearly all of the head trauma you've dealt with lately has had an impact on your capacity to problem solve and critically think.

As well as read, apparently.

[justscribing]

And here I would have thought the Forest Watcher would insist I rest from said head trauma and not chase Kaveh all over the city.

Since he hasn't come by.

[Ah, so they're getting too the real issue.]

[wreatharrow]

Wow, Alhaitham. It is as though we have this wonderful little handheld communication devices that make chasing anyone redundant!

[justscribing]

Which Kaveh hasn't used to reach me either.

He's known this whole time where to find me if he actually wanted to talk. If you're concern is that we'll never talk again just because we aren't now, I can assure that won't be the case.

[wreatharrow]

You know all of this could simply be avoided if you flat out told him how you felt about him instead of making us all suffer by watching this play out.

1/2

[justscribing]

[Can everyone PLEASE go back to pretending his feelings aren't obvious to anyone with working eyes.]

[justscribing]

That's what I tried to tell him, Tighnari. He rejected it, because he won't accept a reality where I do anything except resent him. It doesn't matter how many ways I phrase it.

What else am I supposed to do in that case? I can't force him to accept me.

[wreatharrow]

What exactly did you say Alhaitham?

[ If it's anything short of "i love you and i want you to stick around" then kaveh probably would have rejected it. ]

[justscribing]

He asked why it is I do anything for him and I told him it's because it is him that I do these things.

It was the most direct explanation of my motivations. Kaveh turned it into a deflection, because he couldn't accept I was being honest.

1/4

[wreatharrow]

[ He can't believe this. Tighnari cannot literally believe what he is hearing right. Does Haitham really believe that is enough for Kaveh to understand?

Kaveh... Who needs it spelled out for him because he is as emotionally stupid as Alhaitham is. ]

voice; actually 2/5

[wreatharrow]

Alhaitham I am going to put this in the most gentle way I possibly can. Okay?

[wreatharrow]

Please tell me...

[wreatharrow]

How anyone can possibly understand what you mean

5/6

[wreatharrow]

If you are too much of an idiot to actually SAY IT BLUNTLY!

[wreatharrow]

It's no small wonder that Kaveh is avoiding you! You can't even tell him plain as day that you like him!

BONUS 7/6

[wreatharrow]

[ CLEARLY SPOKEN FROM A DISTANCE: NOT AT HAITHAM ]

Do you see the sheer level of stupidity I am dealing with here, Cyno? You would think that The Scribe would be able to eloquently use words to convey his meanings but no! Here we are because they are both whiny children!

1/2 AGAIN

[justscribing]

I can still hear you.

[justscribing]

[He genuinely considers just leaving Tighnari on read, but unfortunately Tighnari also knows where he lives. He weighs the pros and cons of it.]

I stand by what I said. It's the most accurate expression of my feelings for Kaveh. I didn't have the chance to elaborate before he rejected it.

The problem between Kaveh and I isn't ignorance, it's denial. Had I phrased it as "I love you" then he would have called me a liar. Had I said it was just because I want to, he would have insisted I always have to have an ulterior motive for what I do.

You know Kaveh well by this point. You should know how much he'll refuse something he doesn't want to deal with.
